SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 
Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter, -200, and -300 series airplanes; and 
Airbus Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. This AD 
was prompted by reports of fuel leaking through fuel pump electrical 
connectors and of fuel pump electrical connector damage caused by the 
build-up of moisture behind the electrical connectors. This AD requires 
an inspection of the fuel pumps to identify their part numbers and 
replacement of affected pumps. We are issuing this AD to prevent a 
potential ignition source and a fuel leak through damaged fuel pump 
electrical connectors, which creates a flammability risk in an area 
adjacent to the fuel tank.

DATES: This AD is effective November 22, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 22,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus Model A330-200 
Freighter, -200, and -300 series airplanes; and Airbus Model A340-200, 
-300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
Federal Register on May 9, 2016 (81 FR 28033) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM 
was prompted by reports of fuel leaking through fuel pump electrical 
connectors and of fuel pump electrical connector damage caused by the 
build-up of moisture behind the electrical connectors. The NPRM 
proposed to require an inspection of the fuel pumps to identify their 
part numbers and replacement of affected pumps. We are issuing this AD 
to prevent a potential ignition source and a fuel leak through damaged 
fuel pump electrical connectors. This condition creates a flammability 
risk in an area adjacent to the fuel tank.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 
2015-0194, dated September 22, 2015, to correct an unsafe condition for 
all Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter, -200, and -300 series airplanes; 
and Airbus Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. The 
MCAI states:

    Operators reported cases of fuel leak through fuel pump 
electrical connectors. Subsequent investigation revealed fuel pump 
electrical connector damage caused by moisture build up behind the 
electrical connector.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could create 
concurrently an ignition source and fuel leak as a result of a 
single failure, resulting in exposure to a flammability risk in an 
adjacent area to the fuel tank.
    To address this unsafe condition, Airbus published Service 
Bulletins (SB) A330-28-3127, SB A340-28-4138 and SB A340-28-5060, 
providing inspection/identification instructions, and instructions 
for replacement of the fuel pumps.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires 
identification and replacement of the affected fuel pumps.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
6418.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and 
the FAA's response to the comment.

Request To Clarify Compliance for Affected Pumps

    American Airlines (AAL) requested that we clarify which groups of 
pumps paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of the proposed AD are intended to 
control. Where individual items begin with ``All of the affected pumps. 
. . .'' AAL explained that paragraph (h) of the proposed AD must be 
intended to refer to all of the affected pumps on each airplane. AAL 
pointed out that this language creates a requirement for all airplanes 
that have one or more pumps having part number (P/N) 568-1-28300-001 or 
568-1-28300-002 installed to be modified in accordance with the service 
information within 72 months. AAL asserted that consistent references 
to ``each affected pump'' confuse that interpretation and seem to imply 
that each pump is treated separately. If the intent is to control the 
compliance time for replacement at the pump level, AAL stated that it 
would be more efficient to simply state that -001 and -002 pumps must 
be replaced within 72 months, while -100 and -101 pumps must be 
replaced within 96 months. If the intent is to control the compliance 
time at the airplane level, AAL stated that the language throughout 
paragraph (h) of the proposed AD should be revised to reflect that 
intent; American provided some example language.
    We agree that this AD should specify the compliance times at the 
airplane level. Therefore, we have revised paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) 
of this AD by replacing the text in the beginning of the sentences, 
``For affected fuel pumps that have . . . , '' with the text ``For 
airplanes with fuel pumps that have . . .'' in order to clearly 
identify the airplane configuration.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and 
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial 
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the 
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service information:
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-28-3127, Revision 02, dated 
April 14, 2016.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-28-4138, Revision 01, dated 
September 24, 2015.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-28-5060, Revision 01, dated 
September 24, 2015.
    The service information describes procedures to identify and 
replace affected fuel pumps with serviceable fuel pumps. These 
documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models. 
This service information is reasonably available because the interested 
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by 
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 99 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 4 work-hours per product 
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor 
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost 
of this AD on U.S. operators to be $33,660, or $340 per product.

[[Page 71595]]

    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would 
take about 17 work-hours and require parts costing $10,400, for a cost 
of $11,845 per product. We have no way of determining the number of 
airplanes that might need these actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to 
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the 
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation 
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's 
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in 
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General 
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with 
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator 
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within 
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition 
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this 
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications 
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct 
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies 
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
